How Indiana Pacers went from also-rans in Paris to the NBA Finals: ‘We don't quit'
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers went to Paris this season. The French sports media are a reverent bunch, so it would be wrong to say that the Pacers were treated like the Washington Generals, Reggie Strickland (I admit I had to look him up, but he lost 276 out of 363 career boxing matches, so you can see where this is headed) or Prairie View A&M. Advertisement But whether it was in Accor Arena while the games were going on, or just about anywhere else in the French capital that week in January, the Pacers were definitely a sidebar to the main act — the San Antonio Spurs and Victor Wembanyama. Of course this makes sense to a degree, as Wemby is a Parisian and this was his triumphant homecoming with his NBA team, so his presence was always going to drive the news. But also, the Pacers, at the time, were still kinda, sorta, just, lacking. They had started to win a few games here and there and were a couple above .500 when landing at De Gaulle, and yes, it was Tyrese Haliburton's first trip to the city since winning a gold medal at the Paris Olympics with USA Basketball the previous summer, but Indiana simply was not at a point where it was inspiring much excitement or confidence among fans and onlookers. Naturally, the Spurs finished 34 games out of first and Wembanyama missed the last two months with a blood clot, and the Pacers are, of course, headed to the NBA Finals. 'This isn't a surprise to any of us because of what we wanted to do,' Haliburton said. To anyone who has watched the Pacers play LATELY, no, their finals berth is not a surprise. They play a relentless, fast-paced, full-court style where they pressure the ball in the backcourt and, on offense, throw it ahead as soon as possible. They have a competent, reliable bench, two stars in Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, and role players who seem to have been carved out of a marble slab by Michelangelo to fit perfectly around Haliburton and Siakam. This is how they dumped the Milwaukee Bucks (with Giannis Antetokounmpo) and the No. 1 Cleveland Cavaliers, both in five games, then beat the New York Knicks in a more competitive six-game series. But to the more casual follower — the kind who might make a face that the NBA Finals features teams from Oklahoma City ('omg, cow pasture USA,' a TikTok-er might say) and Indianapolis ('Is Peyton Manning still there,' a … well, I'm out of jokes here, so something someone ill-informed might say), or to the kind who spent the whole season reading and hearing that the East was owned by Cleveland and Boston and no one else is in the discussion — yes, the Pacers are a surprise. Advertisement Did you know that Indiana started the season with a 10-15 record? Or that Haliburton opened the season in the worst slump of his career, posting five games of fewer than 10 points when he made less than 26 percent of his shots from opening night through Dec. 1? That's how a player can not make the All-Star team but wind up on one of three All-NBA teams in the same season. A team five games under .500 through 25 games, with its best player scuffling like that, typically doesn't make an NBA Finals. 'Me personally, I had my struggles, many guys had their struggles,' Haliburton said after Saturday's closeout of the Knicks. 'I think as a group, we just leaned on each other. And that's the most special part about this group. These guys in the locker room are gonna be my brothers for life. And what they've done for me, I can't even really put into words because you know where I was earlier in the year was really, really tough for me.' While Haliburton was going through it, the Pacers missed Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith and bench player Ben Sheppard for large swaths early in the season. As coach Rick Carlisle pointed out, the Pacers were giving key minutes to players on two-way contracts, youngsters who needed more seasoning in the G League, but the Pacers had no other options. Indiana was also in the midst of overhauling its defense, learning how to execute simpler yet more aggressive schemes with a personnel better suited to defend than the team the Pacers put on the floor in 2023-24 — a team that, yes, made the Eastern Conference finals despite its defensive struggles. As the Pacers got healthy, the defensive work began to catch on. They finished 14th in the league on defense, which, for a team with a national reputation for playing no defense at all, was a marked improvement. That's kind of how they went 40-15 to close the regular season. Advertisement 'Getting to the NBA Finals is an accomplishment,' Carlisle said. 'But if you start looking at it (the finals) that way, you'll go into it with the wrong mindset. Our defense is something we've been working on steadfastly for over a year and a half. … The guys co-signed on the importance of defense, and everybody has participated in the growth.' The Pacers have been compared favorably to a college team because of the full-court pressure they apply for virtually the entire game. Indiana knows that Oklahoma City plays a similar style, and, at least during the regular season, was much better at it — the Thunder's 68 wins stand as one of the great NBA regular seasons. The depth the Pacers rely on has been challenged, as Nesmith, Tony Bradley and Jarace Walker suffered leg injuries during the series. While Nesmith never missed a game and Bradley should be ready for the finals, Walker left the arena after Saturday night's conference finals clincher on crutches. All of which is to say, Indiana is well aware of the challenge that the Thunder will present. The league MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, is on that side, as is fellow All-Star Jalen Williams. Oklahoma City has two additional strong wings besides Williams in Lu Dort and Alex Caruso, and two capable, versatile bigs in Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein. 'I think it's a new blueprint for the league,' said Myles Turner, the longest-tenured Pacer. 'I think the years of the super teams and stacking, it's just not as effective as it once was, you know what I mean? Since I've been in the league, the NBA has been very trendy; it just shifts. But the new trend now is just kind of what we're doing. OKC does the same thing — young guys get out and run, defend and use the power of friendship.' For hours after the Pacers dismissed the Knicks in Game 6, the streets of downtown Indianapolis sounded like race day at the Motor Speedway. Engines revving on the streets, thousands of people drinking beers on the sidewalks, shouting to each other and at cars they believed were carrying Pacer players. A small group stationed itself outside the Pacers parking lot and shouted 'SUV!' as a black SUV with tinted windows pulled out into the night. Was it Siakam, the actual Eastern Conference finals MVP, or was it Haliburton? Who can say? It was a celebration for a fan base that had not seen its basketball team get this far in 25 years. The players and coaches? They were happy, yes, but already thinking of what lies ahead. Advertisement The Thunder play how they play, except, at least on paper, an NBA analyst would say Oklahoma City has better players. Of course, that's what we might have said back in January, looking at a Global Games matchup between the Spurs and Pacers when no one was counting on the Pacers for much of anything. 'I just love the fact that everyone just stayed to the grind and we just kept working and you're trusting the process,' Siakam said. 'I think it just took us slowly to another level and the fact that we connected all together, like, that's what makes it special. 'We don't quit.'

Why new cannabis companies face high barriers to entry
Listen and subscribe to The Big Idea on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you find your favorite podcasts. Securing financing for a small business is no easy feat, but it's even harder for those in industries where there's evolving legislation. On Yahoo Finance's The Big Idea podcast, Erin Gore, the founder of cannabis company Garden Society, detailed the extra hoops those in her industry have to jump through to build a company. 'What we don't have is access to credit, and what we don't have is services around it," Gore told podcast host Elizabeth Gore, who is also her sister-in-law. "So, like, we cannot get a 401(k) — we keep getting denied for 401(k)s for our employees because of the federal illegality of it. We can't get a line of credit for payroll. We can't access any financing services, like equipment financing or mortgages. Our personal bank accounts get shut down.' This embedded content is not available in your region. The cannabis industry was estimated to be worth $38.5 billion in 2024, and marijuana is currently legal for medical use in 39 states and for recreational use in 24 states. However, because marijuana is still classified as a Schedule I drug federally, traditional financial institutions often avoid working with cannabis companies due to the risk of federal penalties and running afoul of anti-money-laundering regulations. One piece of legislation introduced in the House of Representatives in 2023, known as the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation (SAFER) Banking Act, would offer protections to federal financial institutions that offer banking services to cannabis companies in states where it's legal. But the bill has stalled in Congress. As a result, while an industry with this much capital and growth may seem like a prime opportunity for some budding entrepreneurs, these owners face significant financial hurdles. Without usual lines of financing, Gore has had to get creative to ensure her business can continue growing. Cash flow has been essential to keeping her company afloat. She shared that a potential investor once asked her what her cash-to-cash cycle time was, meaning how quickly she saw a return after investing in a product. Gore said the cash cycle is around 160 days for Garden Society-branded products, 'on a best-case scenario.' But she found that by manufacturing cannabis products for other companies, she could have those firms pay for materials and manufacturing up front, drastically reducing that cash-to-cash cycle timeline and bolstering her profits while diversifying her company's streams of income. "I shortened my cash-to-cash cycle time, which covered my overhead," Gore said. "It allowed me to invest in my brand. I all of a sudden had different revenue channels that offset my business and put a lot of resiliency and cash flow and profitability into my business." Even with these adjustments, which increased her company's cash flow and made Garden Society one of California's biggest cannabis companies, Gore still faces significant risk without the additional protections other businesses can get. "In cannabis, you have no bankruptcy protection," she said, explaining that this became a problem when one of her distributors went out of business unexpectedly while it owed her almost half a million dollars. "I don't have credit," she explained. "I'm dependent on that cash to pay my payroll, pay my employees. I can't go to a bank and ask for help. I'm only dependent on investor contributions." With almost a decade in the industry under her belt, Gore has also spent a fair amount of time lobbying for policy changes on the local, state, and national levels. "Nobody's better suited than the business owner to build policy and build the rules," she said. "But like we always say in the industry, we're building the plane and flying it at the same time." Though she's seen some progress, there are still plenty of challenges in the industry. 'You have to be so resilient and creative and nimble,' she continued. 'And I think people underestimate how opportunistic and open to change you need to be.'

PSG 2.0 have potential to dominate but players may still look elsewhere
As the hundreds of VIP guests at Uefa's official Champions League final dinner listened attentively, Aleksander Ceferin addressed his audience. It was the night before Paris Saint-Germain eviscerated Inter and, taking the floor before the starters were served at Munich's Paulaner am Nockherberg brewery, he elected to keep his predictions general. 'Tomorrow we play the best game a club could ever play,' he enthused. 'The one who wins tomorrow will be the best club in the world.' Ceferin's wording was no accident. The final took place against the context of Uefa's continuing tensions with Fifa and, most pertinent, the imminent rebirth of the Club World Cup. Whether PSG are the planet's most becoming football institution may depend on where your moral compass points but, about 26 hours after the Uefa president's speech, they proved beyond any doubt that their team sit above everyone. Advertisement Related: PSG win Champions League for first time with record 5-0 final hammering of Inter Will this title, which has come well behind the schedule laid out by their Qatari ownership when they took over in 2011, prove a mere ripple in history or could it spark an era of dominance? Has Luis Enrique's enthralling young side simply happened upon a fleeting confluence of time and place, or will they now bed in for the long haul? Those questions hung in the air as Parisian heads cleared the next morning, although realistically nobody should expect their demolition job at the Allianz Arena to be a one-off. Within hours of the full-time whistle, figures close to PSG were pointing out this has been only year one of their well-documented spring clean. They sought to draw a line under the decadence that had coloured much of the club's modern era, even if their investment in humbler individuals and future-proofed talents has hardly come cheap. This trophy crowns a project and signals the start of one. The new direction has been born out already and there is no intention of changing course, or speed, now. There are clear notes of caution. One is that PSG's Champions League campaign was saved by the playoff safety net that gives faltering big guns a second shot in the new format. Even allowing for the fact direct comparisons are wobbly given the previous home-and-away structure no longer holds, it is worth pointing out the seven points they had amassed after six games of the league phase would have brought their elimination in previous years. Advertisement Their chair, Nasser al-Khelaifi, nominally wearing his European Club Association hat, made precisely this point in his own speech at Paulaner am Nockherberg. His sentiment was that it had been far from an easy ride. Even though they were dominant in the knockout phase, helped significantly by spending £60m on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's ability to add thrilling new depth to their attack in January, there had been marginal moments against Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal. Not even a cup competition set up to smooth the favourites' paths can offer any guarantees of sustained supremacy. Another caveat arrived, perversely, in the form of a well-wisher. 'The big day has finally arrived,' wrote Kylian Mbappé on Instagram after taking in his former employers' win. 'Victory and in the style of an entire club. Congratulations, PSG.' It was magnanimous indeed from a player who is embroiled in a legal battle with PSG over what he claims is almost £50m in unpaid wages. But the fact Mbappé was offering such wholesome sentiments as a Real Madrid player still presents a red flag. While his departure was seen internally as the final big heave towards breaking with past habits, the fact remains he was a star who decided there was one more rung to climb. Will Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, Vitinha or Willian Pacho feel that way one day? PSG remain tied to perceptions that their domestic league offers an insufficient workout; there is also the point that one trophy cannot pull their history and gravitas alongside those of Real Madrid or, should they knock themselves into shape, Bayern Munich and some of the leading English clubs. Related: Désiré Doué joins the global A-list to lead PSG's coronation as kings of Europe | Barney Ronay Advertisement The counterpoint is that the mind-boggling depth of their resources, summed up by the fact their wage bill is thought to be around double that of Inter, allows them to accelerate far beyond traditional grandees as an attractive prospect. PSG were simply too richly funded, well coached and tactically liberated for their opponents to cope with. Perhaps, in an era where appearances matter more than ever and swathes of elite football have become micromanaged to the point of tedium, it is a marriage that makes them the biggest show in town. Ceferin had hedged his bets regarding Saturday's outcome but maybe it pays to be bold in making guesses after all. A few hours before the final, another leading European football executive sat on a rooftop terrace in Munich and assessed the night's prospects. PSG would win 6-1, he said, to mirth around the table but keeping an entirely straight face. The spirit of that forecast was to be proved accurate. It may be harder to claim that PSG 2.0 are destined to ride off into the sunset, but Ceferin's carefully chosen words contained a truth that holds for now.
